Very many thanks to all of those who provided such excellent advice. I have now confirmed that the gauge and wiring are fine, and that the problem lies within the sender. Given that it was a sudden failure, and not a gradual one, I am pretty sure that the fault is with the resistor, and not with the float. I can't tell for sure at the moment, as I have a full tank of petrol. Once I've emptied it out, I'll replace the whole unit (I have a spare which I picked up from a MkIV some years ago), and I hope that that will solve the problem.
Once again: thanks, guys!
